[Tfug] wicd can't make WEP connection via its configuration

[Bob O'Connell]

John,

Are wanting to get wicd running or just being able to use wep?  I could 
not get it to work on my T43.  I have the following wireless packages 
installed:
wireless-tools
libiw29
iw
wireless-crda
linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic

Later, Bob

Eventually I upgraded to a newer version and things worked much better. So far I have been pretty happy with kubuntu 10.04. You might think about booting to a live cd and seeing if things work there.
